Hi, A quiet week this time around. Perhaps this is a good thing? As much as Grand Day Out – see last week’s post – is rather special, sometimes a period of relaxation is very good too. On that note, it feels like I’ve hardly been at work. I mean, I had two days off and with Fridays a non working day, it was very much a short week! 🙂 I took the time as Child 2.0 was home for a study week and I knew he had appointments he might need ferrying too. Likewise, eldest doggo needed a trip to the vets for a checkup. The latter wasn’t cheap, but he’s worth it and we have pet insurance. I […]

Out, Uncategorized

Hi, This week I had what I would describe as a gift from my dear wife, the Ever Lovely Mrs J. Regular readers – or those handy with the search widget 😉 – may remember I said I had some leave to use up, before the ‘holiday year’ finishes at work. While we were making dinner, I said I really fancied a day out as Lynn, and long story short – unusually for my blogging 😉 – plans were made, hugs exchanged, and dinner was enjoyed. Prep work / navel gazing bloggy bit As with any time out, I kinda like to have in my mind what I’m going to wear. For any nay-sayers who are thinking I float around […]

Creatures of the not too late at night

Hi, How’s things? Hopefully good – and if not, fingers crossed that they soon are. Today’s post will, I think, mostly be Wot We Did At Chams 🙂 For privacy reasons, I won’t be sharing any snaps of folk at the Halloween ‘Do. I will, however, say that the costumes where absolutely on point. Fabulously gothic, glam – and in one case – very sinister! Okay, sinister in an awesome British camp way! 🎃 Blogiversary Cashier number twenty one, please…. 😁 Many a moon ago on the 22nd October in 2005 I pushed my first post on YATGB – The First Post Isn’t the Deepest. Clearly I loved a musical pun as much then, as I do now. Hmm, that […]

Park life

Posiblogging, Uncategorized

Hi, Today was ‘leg day’ so that always brings a bit of joy – well, after the ouch at least 🙂 Likewise the day off to run errands, and just be out & about a bit. I had two sets of boots that needed collecting and some parcels to return. In my defence, only one of the parcels was mine. The Ever Lovely Mrs J required a new dress for an up coming work thing, so we had a look, and I ordered two. A duo to nudge us into free postage, and because Lessons Learned 🙂, sometimes the thing you picked, doesn’t always work out. Buildings & history A few weeks back, the old Maid Marion way car park […]

Not for some time

Hi, A couple of bits of PosiBlog style news this week. How good to be able to report that as an opener! 🙂 Getting out? With me starting a new job at the start of this year and being Dog Sitter for the Ever Lovely Mrs J & Youngest during their minibreaks, I’ve not used as much of my holiday as I would. I guess throw in that I’m a four days a week, so what I lose in monies, I absolutely gain in time, freedom, and less stress. Today, for example I’ll catch up on things that need to be done around the house, and this means the weekend is free for walks and relaxation. While I am sort […]

Drop me off outside Straightsville

Looking Back, Posiblogging, Uncategorized

Hi, Eh, there’s a lot going on upstairs in the old noggin- just not necessarily, anything with focus or structure. Yes, it may be one of those posts! 🙂 Tech stuff A few things to get out of the way. Feel free to skip over these. Well, TBF, you could skip over any or all of my ramblings! 🙂 I’ve kept the switchover to a different CAPTCHA and I am hoping that that will be easier for you to use. The previous one seemed to have a habit of some sort of time out, where a comment might get thrown away. Annoying to say the least! The new one is open source and does not send any data off YATGB […]
